Free Printing, Evening Book Pickup Starts At Sherman Oaks Library

SHERMAN OAKS, CA — The Sherman Oaks Library will now allow you to pick up your reserved books during evening hours after the expansion of the Los Angeles Public Library's "Library To Go" program. Patrons can now make pickups between 12:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while pickups will be available between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

The library also launched a free remote printing service, offering free printing of up to 10 pages a day. The building itself remains closed to the public because of the pandemic.

"We're thrilled to expand our services to include Library To Go evening hours and remote wireless printing pick-up for patrons who have traditionally relied on using computers at the library for printing," City Librarian John F. Szabo said. "Evening hours and Printing To Go are the latest in our ongoing efforts to expand our services and make it easier for Angelenos to access the library."

After reserving a book online through the library catalog, library patrons should make an appointment to pick up their items outside the library. Those looking to print pages should head to www.lapl.org/print and select their desired branch.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said the expansion of the Library To Go program "will open the doors of great literature, learning, and exploration to local children and families -- and make this critical neighborhood asset available to more Angelenos at a time where our civic resources have never been more valuable."

Library To Go service is also available at the Studio City, Los Feliz, Sun Valley, Silver Lake and other nearby branches.
